    the NBA is a joke

    Has anyone been watching the Magic/Pistons series or the Lakers/Wolves series? It's atrocious the way that they are being officiated. Clearly, the calls are one-sided... no one can deny this. Even the commentators are talking about how poor the refs have been.

    Obviously, the NBA will make more money if the Lakers and Magic advance. They have marquee superstars, and that what the NBA is about today.

    The NBA is turning into sports entertainment. Vince McMahon should be the new commissioner. Sorry NBA, you just lost a lifelong fan.

      I agree, I still remain a casual fan and a die-hard Knicks fan though. I am surprised no one in the media has tried to do a report on the officiating. Maybe talk to some retired refs.

              That is exactly why i said about a month ago on here that the pistons had no chance in the playoffs. All of you piston fans put me down and said i was crazy! Detroit has no go to nba star and this kills them in the playoffs cause the go to player gets every call! Its the same way with my pacers waker and pierce get every call and the pacers dont get the same calls. there was about 3 calls that pierce got when he wasnt even touched . i really believe the higher ups in the nba want tracy mcgrady to move on in the playoffs cause people will watch him. i am not taking anything away from him cause he is a great player but he really does get the calls.

                      I think it has been more aparent in the Lakers-Wolves series. In the Orlando-Detroit series I've seen some bad calls both ways, both nothing radical. Magic has just outplayed the Pistons plain and simple.

                              OK, I was at games 3 and 4 and I think both teams got some bad calls called against them. I dont think the Magic got anymore calls than the Pistons did at all. If you go back and look at games 1 and 2 the Pistons got all the calls where the Magic got none. Especially Game 1. Bottom line is the Magic are out hustling your Pistons. The Magic just appear they want it more. The Pistons problem is that they seem to have too many jump shooters on that team. Not enough inside presence outside of Ben Wallace and even hes a offensive liability.

                                      I have to agree. The officiating in the playoffs so far has been the worst ever. They get so many calls wrong, or call a lot of phantom calls, or just plain stupid calls. I don't understand, they do it for a living, they get PAID for it, and they still can't get it right.

                                              I'm not saying that the officiating is the only reason why the Pistons are losing. But there have been many phantom calls. Someone lands on Jon Barry, and Barry gets called for the foul? The technical on Ben Wallace a few games back for asking about a questionable foul, where the replay showed that it was clearly not a foul? Yes, the Magic are playing better... but the refs are leaning in a certain direction. It is not even, and that's why it sucks. When the commentators are talking about how poorly the game is being called, that should tell you something.

                                                      I never listened to the commentators because I was at games 3 and 4 but if they said that then ok. I have had season tickets for the Magic for 6 years now and I can honestly say after going to 40+ games a year that it seems alot of NBA officials do suck. I realize its a hard game to call but more often than not it seems officials make mistakes more and more. Anyway I've been waiting for seven years to see the Magic finally in this situation again. Maybe finally THE CURSE OF THE SHAQINO is gone. MAYBE
